Ryanair to create 700 Birmingham Airport jobs
12.05.09
Ryanair plans to create 700 jobs at Birmingham Airport in the next year by almost doubling passenger numbers at the hub, the Post reports. Sales and marketing manager Laszlo Tamas said the new roles would be created if the budget airline hits its target of transporting 1.65 million passengers from Birmingham Airport next year – an 81 percent increase on this year.
Ryanair currently employs 900 staff in Birmingham and operates 32 routes after setting up a new base last year. Mr Tamas told the Post: ‘This year we have delivered 900,000 passengers and we would like to almost double that next year. We are projecting 1.6 million. We aim for one person per 1,000 passengers so our aim to get to 1.6 million passengers would mean that we would create an additional 700 jobs in 2009 / 2010.’
‘We would like to increase the frequency on some of our current routes and start to fly to new destinations from Birmingham. We are associating with 250 airports around Europe and we are always looking.’
